Quote by: Abdullah Another myth that has been carried on by evolutionist, read:
"Some microorganisms are endowed with genes that grant resistance to these antibiotics. This resistance can take the form of degrading the antibiotic molecule or of ejecting it from the cell... The organisms having these genes can transfer them to other bacteria making them resistant as well. Although the resistance mechanisms are specific to a particular antibiotic, most pathogenic bacteria have... succeeded in accumulating several sets of genes granting them resistance to a variety of antibiotics"-biophysicist Lee Spetner
Its most certainly not evolution:
"The acquisition of antibiotic resistance in this manner... is not the kind that can serve as a prototype for the mutations needed to account for Evolution… The genetic changes that could illustrate the theory must not only add information to the bacterium's genome, they must add new information to the biocosm. The horizontal transfer of genes only spreads around genes that are already in some species"-biophysicist Lee Spetner
As you can see the genetic information that already exists is simply transferred between bacteria, most certainly not a mechanism of evolution. |
I'm sorry, since when was a biophysicists deemed a world authority of evolutionary biology?
Evolution can take many forms, one of its definition is the change of allele frequency within a population. See, even if it were just the horizontal transfer of genes it is still part of evolution.
Furthermore, I don't see how antibiotic resistance to a new antibiotic can be explained purely from conjugation. There are new mutants appearing ALL the time, whether they thrive depends on the environment.
The University of Berkeley treats
evolving resistance to antibiotics to be a real and serious issue.
Maybe some day you'll realise when yourself or someone you know is unfortunately enough to be infected with MRSA.

Quote by: Abdullah lol, show me the mutations that cause SSA and your logic is already flawed about SSA as I adressed it in my previous post. |
No, my logic is fully justified, your's however only adds up to, "I know I am right so I won't accept what you have to say". I asked the question first, how many known different variations of the haemoglobin gene are there?
